Why would my angiogram doctor want to transfer me to the surgical hosp

Thank you for your response. The angiogram was ordered by my excellent cardiologist as the next step toward a Medicare and insurance supported path. My age, family history, and increasing symptoms led me to pursue this course.

I believe this pursuit has identified the need early enough to avoid more serious damage to my heart. My heart is strong, my lungs are clear, and although I have not had any more serious symptoms, it is my hope that bypass surgery and continued diet and lifestyle monitoring will extend my heart health for a number of years.
Living healthy into our 70s is a full time permanent job.

I'm still wondering why the Angiogram tech felt it was a more immediate problem. Has the cardiologist informed you of what the test showed? I myself probably would be so curious as to the urgency to find out what my cardiologist thought. As for the need to convince my insurance, for me that was all done in the hospital during my evaluation. So anyway, I myself would be really wondering why the testing center was so concerned.
I would love to hear more as to your journey, and you are very wise to be paying attention to diet and lifestyle changes.
Blessings to you as you continue on this journey. Please let me know if I can help with any questions.
